​***NEWS FLASH***NEW ALBUM COMING LATE SPRING!!!Have you played your 'Hot House Jump' CD death? Do you require something new, fresh and exciting to listen to from HH4? Well, it's coming!There's a whole bunch of brand new songs being written as we speak. These days, we tend to be The Hot House Four +1 with the marvellous Tim Heming joining us on the Clarinet. There's more of an early jazz and swing influence but don't worry western swing fans because there's lots of that too. We'll be putting a few clips up here and there so keep a look out. See you all at a show soon.

Well, what an absolute blast we had at the Rhythm Riot last weekend!Last year, we were approached by the organisers of one of the biggest Rhythm and Roots festivals in Europe. We were asked if we would be able to get together an hour long tribute show to one of our favourite Western Swing band leaders of the 1940's/1950's, Mr Pee Wee King. We needed to get together an 8 piece band and guest singers to come and perform some songs too. We thought long and hard about it and questioned if we would be able to pull it off and eventually we decided to go for it. After getting four other musicians on board and guest singers to choose their songs, rehearsals started. We rehearsed nearly every week from April. Being the perfectionists we are, we wanted to get every solo, every fill, every beginning and ending as close to the original as possible. Considering Lola and myself (Lisa) have only been playing for a couple of years, to say this was a challenge is an understatement! Luckily we were working with some very accomplished musicians who were able to guide and support us all the way. When the time finally arrived, we felt ready and excited to show everyone what we had acheived and boy was it exciting. Over 2000 people filled the hall to watch, cheer, sing along and clap. At the end, we were buzzing, the guest singers were buzzing and the organisers of the festival were buzzing. It was the talk of the festival and there is a call to do it again so watch this space! Below are a couple of links to films of the event.

This Wednesday (3rd June '15) we finished work and drove straight to the Forest Fm radio station in the New Forest to play on the 'Steve Stack Of Wax' show. It was great to chat with Steve and we had fun juggling all our instruments in the tight space.

If you missed it or just want to hear the show again, you can listen to it here over and over again...

We spent last Sunday recording at Rapunzel Studios. We all really enjoyed working with the very nice and professional George Arnold, so nice he let us unwind by having a swim in the private swimming pool on site.

The record will be released on a one-sided 45rpm vinyl by O-Ha records this summer.
